Nik and Zoltan have maintained a longstanding partnership as friends and colleagues for three decades. Both have performed with the Charleston Chasers and the Chris Barber Big Band and have toured with the Pasadena Roof Orchestra.
For this collaboration, they will present two reed arrangements inspired by Wilber & Davern’s Soprano Summit. Nik, a former student of Bob Wilber, accompanied Wilber on tour throughout the United States. Nik's distinguished musical career includes touring with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and serving as Artistic Director of Jazz Festival Brazil during his time residing in Brazil. His global performance experience spans Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and the United States.
Joining the ensemble this evening is esteemed pianist Andrzej, who has previously appeared at the club alongside Zoltan, bassist Mike Green, and drummer Graham Smith. Together, they will comprise an exceptional rhythm section.
Nik and Zoltan bring decades of jazz partnership, performing with top bands and global tours.
